Spirituality Guide

So on this level, I imagine they (the hidden puppet masters behind the stupid public figures) are quite confident they can tell us anything and enough people will believe it that they can get away with whatever they wish.

Another possibility goes deeper. The Fall of Man may be seen as when the spiritual being that we are made a choice that enmeshed us into the world of solid. I wonder sometimes if the ‘Tree’ from which Adam and Eve were not meant to eat was not any specific tree, but that they were not meant to partake of solid food. Perhaps the Breath of Life was sufficient to energise us 7 we lived as energetic beings, aware of the matter in which we experienced, but still aware of our spirituality.

Then, like Persephone, we ate of the world, and suddenly we became more dependent on using the energy of matter to run our bodies. We experienced, and liked, the fruit of the flesh.

Now when I look at what we are finding out of real history, I can easily see it as a battle between those who would have Man grow towards the Spirit once more, and those who see profit in having us trapped into the flesh, manipulable and able to be used as servant or slaves. I see over and again, humans reaching for greatness, then like a wave of darkness, the original impulse to light gets submerged in greed and corruption, in power seeking and venality.

Now, we have the advent of possibility in 2012, at the Winter Solstice. It may be that this is a mere distraction for us, planned and implemented by the forces of the Dark to keep us looking to the future while they steal our present. But opposed to this is the fact that, if these forces exist, they have achieved a dominant position some time ago - how far depends on which variety of Conspiracy one can see.

What it seems to point at is that the only constant seems to be Consciousness, and that reality is a construct of Consciousness - if that is so, then it would seem eminently feasible for there to be more than one truth while we exist at the lower levels. Even if, at the connection level where all Consciousness is One, there is only Truth, we are not at that level and so can only see what is true for us.

And those truths seem to vary according to a variety of factors. Our experience seems to alter what we can see, as does our level of awareness. Pre-defined beliefs also appear to affect what we think of as reality. So in any random selection of (say) 100 people, the chances seem good that there will be at least 100 truths.

And saying there is an over-arching Truth begs the question of who it is who defines or holds that truth. Given the distinctly imaginary feel to our Reality, we cannot use the ability to find corroborating evidence within the plenum as a criteria for Truth - it might just be programmed in that way. We can’t use personal feeling for a general truth - too many have done that and killed thousands or millions. And we can’t use agreed upon values as truth - there seems no universal law that says 12 men agreeing have to be righter than one man deciding. (the democracy myth)

So I don’t know if Truth is important for us to know. But I think that, like happiness, it is very important for us to seek it.

My thoughts on this are a bit complex to put down, but I’ll try.

Truth is not, I think, black and white. Everything around us shows complexities and subtleties way more complex than the Aristotelian good/bad dichotomy. Human relationships have always failed and been manipulated when we fail to recognise the shades of grey between black and white. That’s why, when power mongers decide on war, they start to polarise their subjects, using propaganda and an emphasis on the negative side of those with whom they wish to go to war. If they can demonise the enemy and bring goodness in on their own side, it makes it MUCH easier to convince the people that going off to kill those folk over there is a good thing.

Groups are also not necessarily a good thing - they usually require people to compromise their truth to fit in with the commonly agreed truth of the group. So when the group comes to a point where the particular individual would normally stop and say, ‘this is not my way’ they are under pressure to go along. This group behaviour is considered a good thing, but I would imagine the soldiers at Nuremburg wished they had reconsidered their obedience to the group rule.

Truth in a plain 3D world may be as you see it, but is it true we are in a plain 3D world? The math and physics of cosmology would suggest there are more dimensions than 3. String theory needs 11 and some versions talk of 26. Black holes require, according to Stephen Hawking, other universes to exist for the theory to work. Quantum theory seems to say that if Consciousness were not present, there would be no Universe, that Awareness collapses the probability matrix into a Reality in which we then exist.

And more strangely still, the evidence is building that our Reality isn’t really here at all.
